“One candidate is too old and mentally unfit to be president. The other one is me,” Biden said on Saturday, in front of more than 650 guests who included the Taoiseach of Ireland Leo Varadkar, Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew, whose US business could be banned by Biden.Trump’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment. Trump has also questioned Biden’s mental capacity to be president.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, representing the Democratic Party at the event, also spoke on Saturday, as well as Utah Governor Spencer Cox, representing the Republican Party. The club’s 65 members, all representatives from news organisations, performed satirical songs and skits. One song poked fun at Biden’s and Trump’s ages to the tune of “When I’m Sixty-Four” by The Beatles.
